This is of course horrible and racist and inappropriate but .. I am ashamed to admit that I laughed a lot.

On the other hand, even an ugly American like me knows there are no Korean people with names remotely resembling these...

Wi Tu Lo made me snort. I think we can make fun of a region's language without being racist. I knew a man named Harry Butts and I laughed at him all the time.

Yeah sure but in this context with 2 dead passengers, it seems really not cool.

This is truly unprofessional on the station's part.Sadly enough, Korean media also has its terrible moments with foreigners as well, blaming them for a myriad of problems from STD to crime when statistics clearly show otherwise.

Yeah, if it's a friend over a drink that's one thing - but in the news? incredibly poor taste.
